esata enclosure will be on a single SATA port, which will be a 
bottleneck for 4 or more drives.  maybe even for 3 drives.  8 or more 
drives should be on a 4 channel SAS port at least.

how about getting something like a QNAP and putting your storage on the 
network?

for instance, http://www.qnap.com/pro_detail_feature.asp?p_id=134
